365 by Whole Foods Market, Butter Shortbread, 8 oz

I enjoy these type of cookies and this brand was excellent. The purchase price was very much more economical ! I will be ordering more in the future. They were very fresh and delicious.

Not quite as good as Walker"s but pretty darn good. Go stale fast if not sealed up. Best to eat fast.

We love these Shortbread cookies!! Made from simple, clean, minimal ingredients! Such a treat, and not too sweet. No chocolate, eggs, berries/fruit, no vanilla AND no barley in the "Wheat flour" = heaven! I have many food-sensitivities and migraine triggers, these cookies are THE one treat I don't have to make for myself! A little pricey and I wouldn't mind a bit more sweetness but PLEASE don't change or discontinue them, especially if it would alter the above list!

3.75/5 stars. As a baker, I am very picky about my shortbread and, of course, prefer fresh baked to packaged. However, I get lazy and don’t want to turn on the oven (especially during summer!) so I occasionally buy them; Walker’s are the best I’ve found: buttery, not overly sweet, firm then melty and appropriately short-sandy textured. When I saw reviews saying that these were comparable or better, I was tempted. But, alas, no! They are not close! They have a light but still apparent funky-cheesy smell and taste (likely from cultured butter) which I personally find off putting, are a bit too sweet, lack a touch of salt and have a strange, hard but then chewy texture (likely due to too much mixing/aeration) instead of a sandy, crumbly one which I seek in shortbread. In all, these are fine (better than most packaged) and certainly more than edible but not up to my exacting standards or expectations. An easy skip for me.

All butter shortbread cookies w/ no other flavorings or additional elements (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.) are in my list of the top 10 foods I would want to have if stranded on the proverbial desert isle. These cookies are delicious and shaped perfectly, a bit like traditional Breton butter cookies. I am surprised that having basically the same few ingredients as the leading Scottish import we all know (W.......) these have a distinctive taste and texture. The Whole Foods cookies have a buttery flavor that lingers a bit longer than other bakers' products, although I might prefer the texture of the imports.

Gourmet quality made with real butter that you can taste as good as the imported item

These are so good and buttery will recommend to anyone
